Kelsey remembers her trip to San Francisco, it's Spanish cuisine and the latest twist on a classic Spanish dish - paella, made with noodles instead of rice. The new tread inspires Kelsey's version of fideos with shrimp and chorizo with a smoky paprika aioli. And you can't talk about San Francisco without making a classic buttery and fluffy pilaf. She finishes her San Fran feast with a green goddess crab tapas. It's Spanish flair west coast style!
